Title: The Citroen is dead... Long live the Citroen!
Post by: danny7147 on 14, June, 2013 - 13:09:54
It is with great sadness that I must announce the passing of our beloved Xantia. After a long and exceptionally painful period of illness it finally went to meet it's maker when the turbo gasped it's last a few days ago. However! My wife found us a new car... A Xsara Estate, W reg, 11 months test, 2 months ticket, a few scuffs but none particularly severe... Runs great, for £250 :-) So! Now need to get roof bars and a towbar to start taking the C5's to shows again lol!

Well it's a bit camera shy at the moment, but I'll talk to it tomorrow and see what I can do ;-)

I'm a big fan of "banger-nomics" , buying cheaper older cars is a fun way of trying to beat the system  ;).

Sounds like you came up trumps mate  8)

Well I have to admit that the main reason for not being able to spend much on a new car was due to spending too much on C5's...  ::)

Right! Photos! Here's the deceased member of the family on the way to it's burial...

Well... for £250 you can't go wrong lol  8)

Plus, when it gets the 18" alloys, blacked out windows, big bore exhaust and "new car scent" Magic Tree it'll look even better  ;D And yes, I'm joking lol! I'm just after a set of roof bars and a towbar so that I can start carting the Sinclairs to shows again...
